Secondary school students from around Australia travelled to the Shine Dome in Canberra today to help Nobel Laureate Professor Brian Schmidt launch the Australian Academy of Science’s innovative new secondary school science education program, Science by Doing.
Four years in development, Science by Doing combines the latest in interactive technology with expertise in science and education to create rich, exciting tools for teachers and students in years 7 to 10. The students came from schools where the program was trialled.
Professor Schmidt officially launched Science by Doing at a breakfast event hosted by the Academy to celebrate the winners of the Prime Minister’s Prizes for Science. The audience included national and international science and education leaders.
